H.J. Lu 0ce398f106 Add --compress-debug-sections=[none|zlib|zlib-gnu|zlib-gabi]
This patch adds --compress-debug-sections=[none|zlib|zlib-gnu|zlib-gabi]
to ld for ELF targets to support generating compressed DWARF debug
sections.  We always generate .zdebug_* section since section names have
been finalized and they can't be changed easily when compression is
being performed.

bfd/

	* bfd-in.h (compressed_debug_section_type): New.
	* compress.c (bfd_compress_section_contents): Add an argument
	for linker write compression and always generate .zdebug_*
	section when linking.
	(bfd_init_section_compress_status): Pass FALSE to
	bfd_compress_section_contents.
	(bfd_compress_section): New function.
	* elf.c (elf_fake_sections): For linking, set SEC_ELF_COMPRESS
	on DWARF debug sections if COMPRESS_DEBUG is set and rename
	section if COMPRESS_DEBUG_GABI_ZLIB isn't set.
	(assign_file_positions_for_non_load_sections): Set sh_offset
	to -1 if SEC_ELF_COMPRESS is set.
	(assign_file_positions_except_relocs): Likwise.
	(_bfd_elf_assign_file_positions_for_relocs): Renamed to ...
	(_bfd_elf_assign_file_positions_for_non_load): This.  Change
	return time to bfd_boolean.  Compress the section if
	SEC_ELF_COMPRESS is set.
	(_bfd_elf_write_object_contents): Updated.
	(_bfd_elf_set_section_contents): Write section contents to
	the buffer if SEC_ELF_COMPRESS is set.
	* merge.c: Include "elf-bfd.h".
	(sec_merge_emit): Add arguments for contents and offset.  Write
	to contents with offset if contents isn't NULL.
	(_bfd_write_merged_section): Write section contents to the
	buffer if SEC_ELF_COMPRESS is set.  Pass contents and
	output_offset to sec_merge_emit.
	* elflink.c (bfd_elf_final_link): Allocate the buffer for
	output section contents if SEC_ELF_COMPRESS is set.
	* section.c (SEC_ELF_COMPRESS): New.
	* bfd-in2.h: Regenerated.

gas/

	* as.h (compressed_debug_section_type): Removed.

include/

	* bfdlink.h (bfd_link_info): Add compress_debug.

ld/

	* ld.texinfo: Document --compress-debug-sections=.
	* ldmain.c (main): Set BFD_COMPRESS on output_bfd if
	COMPRESS_DEBUG is set.  Set BFD_COMPRESS_GABI on output_bfd
	for COMPRESS_DEBUG_GABI_ZLIB.
	* lexsup.c (elf_static_list_options): Add
	--compress-debug-sections=.
	* emultempl/elf32.em (OPTION_COMPRESS_DEBUG): New.
	(xtra_long): Add "compress-debug-sections".
	(gld${EMULATION_NAME}_handle_option): Handle
	OPTION_COMPRESS_DEBUG.

ld/testsuite/

	* ld-elf/compress.exp (build_tests): Add tests for
	--compress-debug-sections=.
	(run_tests): Likewise.
	Add additonal tests for --compress-debug-sections=.
	* ld-elf/gabiend.rt: New file.
	* ld-elf/gabinormal.rt: Likewise.
	* ld-elf/gnubegin.rS: Likewise.
	* ld-elf/gnunormal.rS: Likewise.
	* ld-elf/zlibbegin.rS: Likewise.

		   README for GNU development tools

This directory contains various GNU compilers, assemblers, linkers, 
debuggers, etc., plus their support routines, definitions, and documentation.

If you are receiving this as part of a GDB release, see the file gdb/README.
If with a binutils release, see binutils/README;  if with a libg++ release,
see libg++/README, etc.  That'll give you info about this
package -- supported targets, how to use it, how to report bugs, etc.

It is now possible to automatically configure and build a variety of
tools with one command.  To build all of the tools contained herein,
run the ``configure'' script here, e.g.:

	./configure 
	make

To install them (by default in /usr/local/bin, /usr/local/lib, etc),
then do:
	make install

(If the configure script can't determine your type of computer, give it
the name as an argument, for instance ``./configure sun4''.  You can
use the script ``config.sub'' to test whether a name is recognized; if
it is, config.sub translates it to a triplet specifying CPU, vendor,
and OS.)

If you have more than one compiler on your system, it is often best to
explicitly set CC in the environment before running configure, and to
also set CC when running make.  For example (assuming sh/bash/ksh):

	CC=gcc ./configure
	make

A similar example using csh:

	setenv CC gcc
	./configure
	make

Much of the code and documentation enclosed is copyright by
the Free Software Foundation, Inc.  See the file COPYING or
COPYING.LIB in the various directories, for a description of the
GNU General Public License terms under which you can copy the files.

REPORTING BUGS: Again, see gdb/README, binutils/README, etc., for info
on where and how to report problems.
